This is more a printer problem, but I have no way to solve it on the printer side.

When printing a two sided document, the sides do not match vertically. That means for example the line of \pagestyle{fancy} is not continuous from the left to the right page but shifted by 2 mm (0.08 inches). Is there a way take this into account when generating the file?

\addtolength{\voffset}{-2mm} shifts all pages, not only the e.g. odd ones.

@egreg: yes, but it is definitely a problem on the printer side. It happens to all prints; not only PDF's. I think it is a general problem of printers when they turn the page.

Indeed it can be. It was something to attempt, though.
